7 Words That Lead to Deeper Meditation (and a Happier Life)


By William T Batten

There's a secret mantra, exchanged in dark halls, old monasteries and the quiet corners of the internet. This simple set of words isn't magic but it might as well be. Saying them to yourself transforms your mental state for the better.

If you're in meditation, this short sentence will take you even deeper inside.

Or if you're just walking around, it releases emotions and thoughts.

Write this mantra down and practice it. This exercise is one of the best upgrades to your mind.

Are you ready?

If your monkey mind won't stop chattering, then the mantra is:

"It seems that this body is thinking."

If you are blocked by an emotion, then your words of power are:

"It seems that this body feels angry/sad/tired/whatever."

These may sound simple. That's because they are simple and incredibly sophisticated. Any trained hypnotists or experienced meditators can spot the techniques immediately. For everyone else, let me break it down.

The first two words break any judgement. This is not the time for analysis or criticism. It softens what comes next by allowing it to be true or false.

After all, you're only describing what it seems like.

"It's cold outside" is a definitive statement. It's clear and without flexibility. Maybe it's not cold outside, in which case you'd be wrong.

And if you don't like the cold, that's a judgement. If you do like the cold, that's still a judgement.

Whereas "it seems as though it's cold outside" cannot be true or false. It's an honest description of what's going through your mind. It softens the statement, which softens any judgements within it.

This is important for what comes next.

Talking about "this body" is a classic dissociation technique. A common piece of sloppy thinking is when people say "I am angry" or "I am happy". This language sets up your identity. I am human, I am Australian and I am happy. That last bit is a different species to the other two.

No emotion is who you are. Your feelings are chemical reactions that you experience. They exist inside you and are part of your reality, but they are not who you are.

You feel emotions but you aren't them.

Identifying too closely with thoughts or feelings only gives them power. They make excellent servants and terrible masters.

The final part of the mantra labels what's happening. By this time, that experience has been stripped of judgement and dissociated. Adding a label gives your mind some way of identifying it.

I mentioned that these two mantras (and their infinite variations) take practice. The skill is not in the words themselves but in the mindset that would think them. Be the sort of person who naturally dissociates from their problems. Free yourself from your own judgements. If you do, you'll find your problems decide to leave you alone.

If you were to stop here and master this attitude, your life would become better that you can imagine. Having said that, there are deeper wells in the mental arts. If you care to go spelunking and realise your true potential, learn the skills that will get you there:

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
